Forbidden Love
#TheWritingProject
(part one)

I stood in the dark by the window waiting to see him again. The feelings i felt were intense. The thought of him made me shiver with excitement. Lost as though my heart dropped from my soul.

I couldn't see him at all my family wouldn't agree to even let me glance. why i am supposed to marry someone at their level i couldn't understand to me love was the most important thing after all this is going to be my whole life. I panicked on the thought of some unknown person that i would marry off to someone i could not bare.

He often visited Thomas was his name but i called him smirk because he always said the most stupid things. Once he looked at me and said i can tell your smart from the way that you walk but soon you'll be my wife and ill be your obsession. I just gazed upon him and gave him a death stare he will not be able to bare when he sleeps at night.

If only i can haunt his dreams to make him hate me he was so confident and full of himself i couldn't even look at him yet i am to marry this resentful man. My goodness the thought of him was just my nightmare.

Anyway let's get back to the one i love his name is Jeffrey. Jeffrey was this masculine sweet beautiful man i couldn't help but stand there and stare. The best part is he's my neighbor but he was one of the men working for the next door neighbors with the house work. I used to hang out with him in secret. Jeffrey and i met one day outside town and we just couldn't stop talking i swear it's as if we met years ago. My parents found out got so upset that they forbidden me from leaving any place without them. I was so mad that i would stay staring at him from my window. One day late at night when everyone was sleeping i heard something in my room i was so scared so i go to check what the sound was turns out it was Jeffrey he climbed up the window when i wasnt in my room and waited in my closet. I could not believe my eyes seeing him in front of me i just stared at him. He came out looked me in the eyes and said sorry for scarring you i had to see you pushed me against the wall gripping my hands and kissed me so hard i didn't want to stop then he whispered in my ear i love you darling someday you'll be mine just wait for me and left.

My goodness i was screaming in a pillow so no one can hear my screams. My heart was racing and my hands were sweaty and the feeling in my stomach i can't describe the butterflies i felt. The next day at dinner stupid Thomas came by for dinner all he did was talk and all i did was ignore my brain was not even there i stood there just staring at the wall and he kept talking and then he said I'm thinking the wedding should happen next month. I jumped out of my seat and screamed with all my voice i will not marry you i refuse to marry someone so arrogant to assume marriage without my approval and i left the room.

My parents were in extreme shock they have never seen me react in such a way . I decided later that day i needed a plan otherwise I'll end up with that jerk. I stayed thinking all night for a solution until i decided to to make a proposition with my parents. It was either i marry who i please or i embarrass them in front of all their friends in every gathering for the rest of my life. They knew i was serious so they made an exception.

They then asked how can you marry someone who can't even afford to pay for the wedding. I responded in a tough tone and said father I'm Abigail I'm fully capable of having a life without a rich husband as long as i have true happiness how about you throw us the wedding so people don't know he's not rich if that will satisfy you and that way we both get what we want. Later on a thought went to my head oh my god he hasn't even proposed to me what am i to do now if i tell my parents that we haven't ever discussed marriage they'll say I'm throwing my entire life based on a thought that hasn't even occurred. what am i to do now!
